Social work is an allied health discipline that focuses on enhancing overall health and wellbeing by providing effective and evidence-based support for patients and their families which includes assistance with discharge planning, to adjust to life following illness, injury, or disability.
Social work provides support to you and your family as you adjust to the challenges which arise following injury, illness and disability.
A social worker will work with you to identify your needs using a motivational approach to help you adjust and identify your ‘new normal’. Our team will assist with your transition back into your community or engagement in relevant supports for the first time. Below are some of the specific areas in which our social workers may be able to provide support:
Support, counselling and advice for you and your unpaid carers.
Practical advice and advocacy related to benefits, entitlements, and finances.
Psychosocial assessment of impacts of illness or disability on your life.
Assistance with navigating funding and support systems including the NDIS.
Adjustment support and counselling related to life changes.
